All natural horseradish powder!

Horseradish is a perennial plant of the Brassicaceae family, which includes mustard and cabbages. The plant is probably native to southeastern Europe and western Asia, but is popular around the world today. It grows up to 1.5 metres (five feet) tall and is mainly cultivated for its large white, tapering root, although the leaves are also edible.

Its root is used as a vegetable or ground in a condiment called prepared horseradish, and has at times been used as the bitter herbs in the Passover meal in some Jewish communities. Horseradish, sometimes blended with cream and called horseradish sauce, is often served with roast or boiled beef or sausages, as well as smoked fish. Horseradish is also used in some prepared mustards. Also, much of what is styled wasabi is actually common horseradish dyed green.

Over two thirds of the world's horseradish is said to be grown in a small region around Collinsville, Illinois in the US, the self-styled "Horseradish Capital of the World", whence it is even exported overseas as a gourmet version of the product to places more renowned for consumption of the root.

Uses of Horseradish
Mardi Gras Bloody Mary
Even without the vodka, this makes a fine, eye-opening beverage.
For each cocktail:
Lime or lemon wedge, optional
Kosher Salt, optional
2 Tablespoons vodka
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1/4 teaspoon minced lemon zest
3 turns of the peppermill
2 drops hot sauce (like Tabasco)
Pinch cayenne pepper
Ice cubes
2 parts tomato juice
1 part V-8 vegetable juice
Optional garnishes: celery stalk, pickled okra or green bean, peperoncini, red onion wedges and/or lime wedge

If desired, salt the rim of a cocktail glass by slicing into a citrus wedge and rubbing it around the edge of the glass. Dip into Kosher salt. Measure the vodka into the salted glass. Add the Worcestershire sauce, lime juice, horseradish, lemon zest, pepper, hot sauce and cayenne. Mix well and fill the glass with ice. Pour in enough tomato juice to fill the glass 3/4's of the way and top off with V-8 juice (or just use all tomato juice). Stir, add any or all of the optional garnishes and serve.

NOTE: For a true Mardi Gras theme, you would want to garnish with the traditional carnival colors of green, gold and purple. Use the green celery stalk, the yellow peperoncini and maybe a slice of red onion or a purple swizzle stick. Throw in a pickled okra in just for a bit of Southern hospitality.
